2019 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[ruffledgrouse]

Here's hoping this spells the end of Evgenia's rebuilding year

 

[Mirunna]

Dont think she will go ahead of Rika, she needs 149

To say something positive and give credit when it is due, she proved the Russians were right to send her here even though I felt Liza deserved it more.

 

[waterfall braid]

Yes evgenia yes! Amazing

 

[Ichatdelune]

Zhenya is happy with it, yes she wasn't performing much but finally, finally a clean(ish, but no falls or pops) free for her

And now after this brief moment of happiness we will return to hyperventilating by yours truly

 

[Yuzuruu]

She landed axel forward and didn’t fall! Nice [emoji3]

 

[Hyena]

Super wonky 2As, but wow, she did her job. It won't win but it's SO impressive given the season she's had.

 

[cathlen]

Why does it look like she‘s skating from one jump to another?
But I‘m soo happy for her, she definitely proved herself!!

Because that what it was... It actually looked like she had to put much effort to jump, not pretty at all.

Evgenia Medvedeva (RUS)

Tech:

- Strong 3Lz to open (maybe !)
- Beautiful 3S+3Lo!
- Strong tano 3F+2T+2T(tano)
- Nice flying camel spin, perhaps not a full rotation on the catchfoot (Lvl 4)
- Easy 3Lo with good ride-out
- Nice pop on the 2A+3T, good ride-out as well
- Strong second 3F(tano)
- A wobbly 2A (maybe <, looks like it on replay)
- A strong combo spin, secure (Lvl 4)
- A focused step sequence (Lvl 4)
- Strong combo spin to finish the program (Lvl 4), might get a V

Pres:

- What a fantastic comeback story for Medvedeva. Maybe she will get dinged on the 2A and the V on the combo spin, but what a fighter she is! She nailed that 3S+3Lo combo and didn't hold back with the jumps. Perhaps she could have had a bit more fire at the end of the program. Not sure if it's enough to go into first but she has made her presence known at that she deserved her spot here at Worlds.

FS Score: 149.57, TES 76.60, PCS 72.97
Total Score: 223.80 (currently 1st, by just .31 over Kihira, oh my)

Medvedeva's 2A landing speed is so sloooowwwww.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Omg I woke up just in time! Get it Zhenya!!!

 

[P44]

oh my god

 

[LaArdilla]

Zhenya we know and love. Welcome back sweetie!
I’m not crying you are crying

 

[anonymoose_au]

I was holding my skate charm on my necklace and gasping at every jump

Ooo Zhenya'sb2A is smaller than Satoko's? I think it goes further though?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm gonna go on mute for the next two programs because my anxiety isn't even funny anymore

 

[kevinVchicago]

Very proud of Zhenya. Starting crying when she let out that scream. Really emotional moment.

 

[ancientpeas]

Good for Evgenia!

 

[Mirunna]

Like I have said. PCS is a joke. They rewarded her for past performances

 

[Heleng]

Yay Evgenia So proud of her, she’s such a fighter. Wow, in first!

 

[SarahSynchro]

Yes yes yes! Give her a medaLLLLL!!!
